Do you require a consult?

We do not! Typically we chat just before the service; however, whichever you feel the most comfortable.

How many treatments will it take?

Hair follicles have growth cycles, and the follicle must be in the anagen phase of its growth cycle to kill it. Not all follicles will be in the same phase of the growth cycle simultaneously, so multiple treatments are required; this varies depending on the person's skin, hair type, and hormones. Results are seen after the first treatment, but to seek permanent hair reduction, it will be following 6 to 10 treatments and expect 8-12 treatments in the more hormonal areas. Once the treatments are done, we recommend maintenance touch-ups once or twice a year as needed.

How often do I need to come in for treatment?

Consistency is critical with laser hair removal. Once you decide to start your hair-free journey, you will need to come back for a treatment every 4-8 weeks depending on the body part, until the hairs are significantly reduced, or you are no longer shaving anymore.

How should I PREP?

Please shave all areas you would like treated by the laser the day prior/morning of your appointment. The hair needs to be in the follicle for the laser to treat the hair. (Please do not wax or tweeze throughout the laser process)

If you are doing a treatment on your face, you will need to avoid retinol, Retin-A, or topical creams 1-2 weeks pre/post-treatment.

Avoid Botox or dermal fillers in the area to be treated 14 days pre-treatment and post- treatment. See guide.

Avoid spray tans 14 days prior.

Avoid waxing, plucking, threading or bleaching 4 weeks prior.

Medications: Accutane has to be out of your system completely before starting laser hair removal treatments. Spironolactone or any other acne medications should also be avoided for 7 days before treatments. Antibiotics may increase photosensitivity. If you begin taking an antibiotic, you will need to be off the medication for 7 days before laser treatment. Any other medication that increases photosensitivity should also be avoided 7 days prior to the treatment.

Can I come in for my session if I have my period?

We don’t mind if you don’t mind. You will be a bit more sensitive during this time so based on your pain tolerance, this is entirely a personal preference.

Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?

The treatment using the Splendor X laser is virtually painless. We have been told it feels similar to a cool stone massage with slight tugging on the hairs.

Will the hair be gone forever?

Laser hair removal's true definition is permanent hair reduction. Once you have completed your treatments, you may go months to years without shaving but may need a touch-up once or twice a year.

How long should I plan for recovery after my laser treatment?

For most of our clients, there is no downtime after treatment, and for the very few, there is a slight redness that goes away in about 15-30 mins after the treatment.

You can come to get your treatment during your lunch break and return to work right after!

Am I a good candidate?

Clients with red, grey or blonde hair should consult with a LASR LAIR technician before receiving treatments, as the laser is less effective on lighter hair colors. Hair removal works best on individuals with light complexions and dark hair. If your hair color is darker than the skin color, you are a candidate for LHR. If you are unsure if laser hair removal is a good option for you, we do offer consultations.

Can I be treated if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

Unfortunately no. Due to the lack of studies evaluating the safety of LHR on pregnant women and due to lack of information, The LASR Lair does not treat women who are pregnant.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes. Clients have to be at least 13 years old at the time of treatment, with parent's permission and attendance.
